I know that she is a _____ with a small white blanket but I would like to know her base color. Dad was homozygous black didn't roan, mom was a similar color to her but lighter and she roaned out a lot.Posted via Mobile Device

I actually do see a little shading on her legs which might be suggesting bay... Or maybe silver bay even... Which might answer the lack of Really dark points?

While you can still tell the base color of this filly, she has changed a lot, and more still since the photo. She was born black (other than her pattern) and has faded out to odd grey color with a white tail and some salt in her mane.(neither parent is grey, so she is not greying out) Lp certainly can mess with things !

I don't think that the OP's horse is black based. She doesn't look silver - the tone of the coat is too orange, eyelashes too dark. As well as that, silver is relatively uncommon in stock breed, and usually does not express anywhere near as much as it does in minis and ponies.
